Lou Stoppard reports on the Alexander McQueen show

Report by Lou Stoppard on 8 January 2013.

It was only when Sarah Burton brought the McQueen mens show to London for the first time this season that we all realised just how incomplete the schedule had been without this iconic brand. With his Savile Row roots and East End upbringing McQueen united the two pillars of our capital’s menswear - perfect, heritage tailoring and daring, fresh experimentalism. Burton celebrated these distinct qualities perfectly with a sinister, sharp collection that brought some much needed drama and depth to the week.
